View submission: Living with no Retirement money
I had very little savings. I had to retire at 64 due to health after working full time for almost 50 years. I get less than 1600 in SS per month. I'm putting my home up for sale at the end of February and using the equity to buy a small condo.
That's the only way I'll be able to keep from living with one of my kids.

Please look into how much your condo fees will be first. They can go up and ruin you.

File for SS disability since you had to quit early. It will boost you to FRA rate.

Why didn’t you put money into an IRA or 401k?
